Animals in Gurgaon

Camel ride anyone?

Here is a partial list of the animals I have seen either in use or wandering in Gurgaon, India where I have been for the past three days:

Cows - lots
Buffalo
Pigs - many
Donkeys
Horses - pulling carts
Oxen - pulling carts
Camels - pulling carts and giving rides
Monkeys
Dogs - all strays
Peacocks
Sheep - herded

Gurgaon is not rural.  It is part of the Delhi metro area and is apparently the only city in India that has run electricity to every one of its apartments.  This is not to say the electric grid is reliable - the power goes out at my hotel here around 4 times per day...
